Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Insulation and encapsulation of a crawl space in Saint-Lin-Laurentides
We insulated and encapsulated the crawl space in a mobile home. An uninsulated crawl space has many problems: heat loss and wasted energy, water and water vapor infiltration, moisture, mold, bloom, and more.Then, we have eliminated the risks and worries of this resident of Saint-Lin-Laurentides by installing our products SilverGlo and CleanSpace specially designed for crawl spaces. Our team is always happy to do such projects because we are convinced that you will notice a big difference in energy consumption. It's an investment that saves you money, adds more usable space and adds value to your home!
Inspection of the crawl space in clay
Earthen crawl spaces that are not insulated bring in water and water vapor. They waste a lot of energy and are wet and full of bacteria.
CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane
The CleanSpace membrane is a polyethylene coating consisting of 7 ultra-resistant layers with perforations and tears. This membrane is a reinforcement of thick and durable polyester yarns.
The membrane that fights against mold
The CleanSpace membrane is bright white in which an antimicrobial additive is added to prevent the growth of mold. It is odorless and safe and is a product used in many automotive and household plastic products.
More space in the void
By encapsulating the crawl space, you solve big problems of water vapor and you add value to your home by adding usable space.
SilverGlo isolation
SilverGlo insulation contains graphite particles that reflect heat inward to conserve energy. In addition, clogging is important where there appears to be a lot of air infiltration or heat leaks.
Access to the crawl space
The entrance doors of the crawl spaces must be as insulated and encapsulated as the crawl space should be. The infiltrations of air and humidity must be blocked everywhere by where they enter.
